Just squash them....

I spent a good 15 minutes squashing the little blighters on the tips of my currants this morning.  You wont get rid of them completely but do it often enough you'll keep the numbers down.

Wash your fingers after though  :tongue2:

Don't talk to me about green fly... Not only they plagued my indoors basil and lettuce during the winter, but also my overwintering chilli plants. Despite removing them every day, they kept coming back. They almost killed the chilli plants, and I got so fed up with the invasion of basil and lettuce that I threw the plants away.
Now I seem to have won the battle with the chilli plants, but my herb plants outside are under attack - coriander, chives, sage, they're all full of them despite spraying with washing liquid and removing them by hand.
It might be a tricky year...
